Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, okul öncesi öğretmenlerinin öğretim sürecindeki demokrasi anlayışlarını incelemektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, deneysel yöntem kullanılmış, öğretmenler altı haftalık süreçte günde üç ders saati gözlemlenerek gözlemler kaydedilmiş ve gözlem sonuçları değerlendirilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, okul öncesi öğretmenlerinin gösterdikleri olumlu ve olumsuz demokratik davranışlarının, öğretmenlerin mesleki deneyimleri, mezuniyet dereceleri ve sınıflarında bulunan öğrenci sayılarına göre farklılaştığı ortaya çıkmıştır. Buna bağlı olarak, okul öncesi öğretmenlerinin demokratik sınıf ortamının oluşturulması konusunda hizmet içi eğitim almaları gerektiği vurgulanmıştır.
